Do you think it might be a good idea for Fluther to use argument organization tools?

Most of the questions on Fluther are fairly specific and the current format is fine for handling them. But there are broader philosophical and political questions that have a tendency to go around in circles and can also get nasty at times. There are some tools that have been created to help deal with these types of question. The basic idea is to state a position and provide arguments in favor or opposing it. With some tools, it is possible to further break down an argument into subarguments, with support and opposition at each level.

Here are some examples of some sites where there is an attempt at some sort of organization:
truthmapping
argunet

There is a structured technique known as argument mapping. For a tutorial on it see:
Argument mapping

What I had in mind would be to have the option of opening a post using some sort of argument organization technique. I know this would require quite a bit of effort on the part of the site’s developers, but I think that it would really be helpful to have. What do you think?
